Guard's hands "didn't even shake" as she shot gunman

The guard who saved untold lives at New Life Church gives credit to God for giving her cover, and boosting her firepower as she shot a heavily-armed gunman.

"I give credit to God. I say that very humbly," said Jeanne Assam. "God was with me, the whole time I was behind cover. Based on the firepower he had, compared to mine."

[snip]

"I just prayed for the Holy Spirit to guide me my hands weren't even shaking."

I suggest you think before you post next time. Save your snide comments for Mrs. Clinton and Alec Baldwin.

"Being wrong may be the least of your problems. You are an idiot."

I agree with your comment in this matter, although Tenacious 1 probably now regrets the posting.

That said, just WTF would it matter...

I would spend the very last of my days giving thanks to Jeanne Assam if she saved a member of my family.

Welcome her into my home, and if God deem it wise, provide for her in HER time of need!

Thanks for that.

I spent 3 years working in the Tenderloin in San Francisco in construction. Our construction office was literally across the street from Mitchel Bros. We saw it all.

None of that matters in liberal-land and you know it.

Tough crowd tonight! But she does have an Adams apple in that pic, no question! Just like Saint Ann Coulter!

I’d say that it looks like you just kicked a cow-pie on a hot day.

It’s going to take some work to get that off of your boot.

Ten years ago, and a very minor issue. Even so, she may have become a Christian since then.

Ouch, I couldn’t even comprehend what was said, although I am sure it didn’t warrant such a vicious comment.

One thing for sure, the woman has got the one thing that can make the rest of one’s life a gravy train (hear that Rosie Ruiz, you loser): notoriety. Television offers, book offers, speaking tours, heck, even a recording contract is a possibility in this crazy country of ours, Needless to say, Playboy, Penthouse and Hustler are already lining up outside her door.

I didnt say anything about it being minor or major.

Just noticing that she was apparently on some organized policing force previously, at least enough to provoke the ire of that lefty-sounding police abuse group.

I can’t count how many times I’ve typed a message, thought about it, and deleted the whole thing.

Thousands.

Works for me.

Is it just my sick mind to wonder what the sicko shooters’ very last thoughts were???

Notes to self:
1. “Be sure to send letter to vest company letting them know how disappointed you are in their products.”
2. “Give pastor a call and tell him you are unhappy with the security at the church.”

Maybe so, I hope so. When other shooters and “gun men” have stopped mass slaughters, there has been nothing but silence from the MSM. Maybe the dam has broken. I hope so.

Also, notoriety aka “fame” is highly overated. No privacy to do anything in a normal way. The need for security guards all the time. Worry about your kids being kidnapped.

I would rather do without it, myself.
